Biography
My career in English language education started in Thailand where I obtained a wide variety of experience that ranged from being a corporate ESL trainer, teaching online with highly reputable ESL companies, and working as an adjunct lecturer at universities in Thailand.
Following this, I moved to China to work at an international school, and once obtaining my Masters Degree, I transitioned to teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in a Sino-U.K. Transnational Higher Education Institute in Qingdao. This has led me to join UNNC as a Course Tutor in EAP. Over the coming years I hope to make a highly positive impact on my students here at UNNC by helping them develop their academic and language proficiencies.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in TESOL, reflecting my unwavering commitment to professional development.
